Good news, everyone: Former FBI Director James Comey has weighed in on the GOP’s FISA memo release. And it’s everything you dreamed it would be — if you dreamed that it would be garbage:
That’s it? Dishonest and misleading memo wrecked the House intel committee, destroyed trust with Intelligence Community, damaged relationship with FISA court, and inexcusably exposed classified investigation of an American citizen. For what? DOJ & FBI must keep doing their jobs.

Really, Jim?
"by withholding critical information from FISA courts to obtain warrants to spy on American citizens" https://t.co/o3pQ2vnNQ8

Lying to court about using unverified political documents to spy on American citizens? That’s it? (This should rehab FBI’s image in no time) https://t.co/IkA5rgmsF9

Also:
Hard to square "that's it?" with all the horrible things that releasing this "that's it?" memo does.
You can't have it both ways. https://t.co/gRJrtbq3WF

Is it a nothingburger or did it destroy everything? Pick one. https://t.co/apT7PQCokF

"Dishonest and misleading memo wrecked the House intel committee, destroyed trust with Intelligence Community, damaged relationship with FISA court, and inexcusably exposed classified investigation of an American citizen." seems like a lot for a "That's it?". https://t.co/cGNbnwFCIm

What’s James Comey contributing to the public discourse again?
Fun to watch Comey (who was partially responsible for the incompetence at the FBI) now lead the charge.
Comey should have been fired in 2015. Obama made a grave mistake by not doing so. https://t.co/BOdvhGsgrQ

Ouch. That one hurts. Almost as much as this:
A dishonest and misleading leader wrecked the FBI

Damn.

Comey's repeated insistence on weighing in here makes the case better than the memo does. Does he need an invite to Kimmel's show this badly? https://t.co/hCe0hof3kU

Guess so.
I can’t believe this man has gotten to a place where Democrats are clapping along with him as he praises the impeccable judgement of the FBI. An all time plot twist. https://t.co/wyC0VcMzn0
